Shackleton in the Jazz cafe, London. Full of insufferable talking cunts, left early.
Crowbar, Reading. Boring as hell,left early...
Terminal Cheesecake in Rotterdam. Ace gig.
Group A and Gnod in London. Group A were great, only caught a few tracks by Gnod as it was full of insufferable wankers again.

Another good weekend in Brum highlights? Anna Von Hausswolff in the town hall was pretty epic, Nic Bullen, Melt Banana, Jessica Moss, Zonal, Oxbow. Surprise sets I really enjoyed that I hadn't listened to before or took much notice to Jenny Hval, Mothwasp, Laniakea, Colin Stetson, Raime, Mohammad. The Sunday wasn't really up to much with the Nawa showcase pretty sparse through their sets think thats how they got some funding to get the festival on i heard but great weather and atmosphere always spot on roll on next year

Might get my ass off the couch to see Spotlights tonight. The only problem being the headliner and other openers look pretty terrible and I'll have to pull off a precisely planned arrival and departure to miss the other stuff.

That's a good line up of shows as well....my ears are still ringing from the last Dino show...recently Lou Barlow did a house tour...just playing at random places on the road...he played at some dudes house in his backyard in North Miami...it was a real cool gig where he just hung out and took requests...talked to him for quite a bit...cool and funny guy

It's good to see his broken collarbone (OUCH!!!!) didn't slow him down any.

I bet he was motherfucking himself up and down for moving back to Massachusetts after living in L.A. for nearly 20 years when he slipped on that ice.

Yeah he had some funny quips about his broken collarbone and living in LA....what was not so funny was his dad(who was traveling with him on the tour along with wife and child) had a heart attack a couple days into the tour...but he had just gotten word that day that his dad would be fine...
